    Sorry to hear your news, KC. :(

    Glad to hear your daughter is getting better, Ed. :) Parents are indeed a captive audience for all kinds of things.

    Ed you are completely mad reading my diary updates for a year! - but thank you.

    I do feel that there haven't been as many instances of egg fried rice (though I may have failed to mention some!) a) because of not having a kitchen for 3 months of the year where I can first roast chicken and then use LOs in said egg fried rice! b) there was a instance of running out of egg fried rice sauce!! I didn't go to the Chinese supermarket for ages and I do find it's the best stuff around!

    Take care and enjoy swimming!

    I am truly sorry to hear that KC, although young children and spending time with the rest of the family really can help to lift the spirits.
    It really did, thanks Ed.
    I can understand re. Liverpool, certain TV channels seem to make it their business to paint Liverpudlians as unflattering stereotypes and caricatures of themselves!
    I stay away from all that, and its constantly a surprise to realise quite how different Scouse attitudes are from the rest of the country ... Mind you, here's another sort of Liverpool, the Palm House in Sefton Park, I visited it with my brother this year as it was within walking distance of where we lived at one stage: http://www.theguideliverpool.com/sefton-park-palm-house-celebrates-wedding-anniversary/

    Sorry to hear about DD being ill, hope she is on the mend.
    Not having enough sleep really affects my energy levels - most peoples I imagine. I hope it passes quickly.
    It's great to get your updates so frequently. Keep it up!

    Swimming was cracking, DD seemed more grown up than usual, less whiny, able to sit still for a minute or two while I changed etc. Lots of comedy shrieks, splashing and cries of 'dah-DAY!!'

    Ooh - we have 2 of those - suspect Glasgow was twinned with Liverpool in a past life:

    Winter Gardens
    Kibble Palace

    Thanks EG, I am appreciating all the internet friends dropping in now that I'm trying to be a bit more active, reminds me to come and nosy at everyone's own personal challenges :j

    Not having enough sleep largely affects my rage levels, which are more than high enough at the best of times :o

    You've given me an idea of an activity for my son tomorrow with the swimming, Ed. He enjoys going swimming and we've not been for a while. :)

    You should start to notice your daughter growing up fast from this point IIRC she is about 20 months old?
